Instuctor – Erin Vanhee – herbalist, Founder of Trillium Medicine
Date – June 25th
Location – Cultus Bay Gardens – Whidbey Island
Hours – 1pm – 4 pm
Beverages and Home made Pie included
Rose beads to take home as well!
Erin’s class is an exploration of deep connection with rose and our bodies somatic response to trauma. Through plant meditation, movement and internal / external introduction to rose, we will explore the physiology of trauma held in the body and how rose can support and heal these responses.
Rose unwinds the body’s response to grief and trauma, both old and new. Rose softens areas of the body that is holding the memory of the experience, allowing us to trust again. Rose Medicine softens vulnerabilities and releases feelings of “stuckness” and distrust of the world around us.
This class also includes harvesting rose petals from Cultus Bay Gardens and crafting them into Rose Petal Beads, which you will take home with you. Crafting beads from plants and weaving them into a garland is an ancient art signifying trust in the plants ability to heal and support the maker, the giver and the receiver.
And as we always do – tea or coffee and homemade pie part of the class.
Dress comfortable for ease of sitting and movement. Class is appropriate for all body types and movement abilities.
